This reminds me of a sermon by my pastor from a few weeks ago. In essence he said that modern man may feel free to change their view of God, but that doesn't change God. They will learn the truth that they have tried to deny one day, but it will be too late.
To correct this inaccuracy, "Priests for Equality" is not a Catholic group and no Catholic priests are involved.
Its tiny membership consists of of several nuns who consider themselves "priests" and several men who were once Catholic priests but who have since left or been stripped of their ministry.
This bears repeating, its the TRUTH that sets man free
Yeah, uh, but Jesus WAS a He. If you're not sure that He was a He, then you obviously lack the faith required to know that He walked the streets of Mother Gaya, and so you're having a Bible is pretty pointless.
In other words, if your Bible denies that Jesus was a He, it ain't really a Bible.

Obscuring the truth does not change it, as God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
How ever did they come up with these names. LOL. This is ridiculous.
Anyone who alters the Word of God or favors its altering is an apostate.
The pastor at the Presbyterian USA church of which my wife and I are members has already started inserting the Father-Mother thing.
The mainline Protestant churches are now hopelessly lost. There isn't even a vestige of solid doctrine remaining. This is selective Christianity at its worst and can be in no way considered positive in any way, shape or form.
BTW, I knew Campolo was a flake, but I didn't realize he'd fallen this far.
Scappleface????
Tony Campolo...why am I not surprised. He is a liberal Democrat. He was also one of the "spiritual advisors" of Bill Clinton, but I was disillusioned about him way before that.
yes. this new translation sucks. but how many times have prior translations have been changed since the original texts in greek/ hebrew?
They're not serious, are they? Is this satire? Does anyone know if this is true?
Eeeeek!!!
A pox on their house. (you hear a spitting noise as he stomps off)
Give me the King James Version any day.
People are so disgusted with mainline PCness, they are leaving in droves. In liberal Massachusetts, the UCC has gone from 210,000 members in 491 churches in 1965 to 90,000 members in 412 churches in 2005.
>> The bisexual deity "Father-Mother" <<
Funny... I missed the part where the article established bisexuality. Come to think of it, I don't believe my bible makes any mention of God having sex at all... Crazy liberals!
Seriesly,
(Or as series as any post spelling series like that can be...)
The term for possessing both masculine and feminine qualities or characteristics is "androgynous."
Hold on a second... in double-checking dictionary.com to see if there might be any synonymous terms for "androgynous" (since androgynous has certain connotations of sexual confusion), such as, perhaps, "bigendered," (not a word, btw), I discovered that this usage of the term bisexual is actually correct.
Another Moral Absolutes Pinger coming atcha.
Craziness abounds. IIRC, that Tony Campolo fellow was one of the "relgious" leaders who helped re-hab Clintoon after being Lewinskied.
If the Bible is going to be transmogrified into leftist twaddle, it's worse than any ordinary fiction book. It's like milk that looks innocent and nutritious, with poison added.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
